On its cliffs, this calcareous mass provides a nesting place for rock-dwelling birds such as the Peregrine Falcon, Swifts... and shelter for the rare Shag. Vegetated areas can also hold surprises for nesting, migratory or wandering passerines. It is also worth a look at the sea when the boats return to port with a trail of seabirds behind them.
